Question for my tech-inclined friends

[kellifer]

My flatmate's computer is doing something whacky.

The monitor is going black just after windows startup. You can hear stuff going but the whole screen goes black. But it will start up and be fine in safe mode.

Has anyone heard/seen something like this or have any ideas?

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope...

Edited to add: Wait - never mind. My google-fu is strong. It was just a matter of using the LCD switch key to change to default primary monitor back to the actual computer and not an external monitor. Thanks wwww.howtofixcomputers.com... ha!

my only guess (if it's a pc, not a laptop) is that she may be having issues with the monitor (ie it needs to be replaced) or the power button is stuck in? (yes, that actually happened to me before)

but I'm grasping here.....sorry!
